To avoid resizing Frame text I usually use that Artistic text. After bringing up my Move Tool via my shortcut and clicking once on an artistic text, AD often brings up the Artistic Text Tool which I do not want. I simply want to remain in the Move Tool and move the text as a whole. Of course, I can find the text in Layers but this is cumbersome. Thus I have used CMD/OPT and dragged over the Artistic text to select it and then move it. I just found that simply holding down CMD while in the Move Tool and clicking once on the artistic text allows me to remain in the Move Tool and thus to move the text around. QUESTION: Is this programmed into AD? I've never read that this is so, but it must be. A related issue is that when I click the screen while in the Frame Text Tool nothing happens until I drag out the frame box. To change tools I can thus use my keyboard shortcut (the handy "s") for choosing Move Tool . However, if by mistake I get into the Artistic Text Tool (see above) I must always remember *not* to click, i.e., unless I actually want to type in an artistic text. If I do, the Artistic Tool creates the place on screen where my text would begin (if I were to want a text). I wish AD would require a double click when one actually wants to type with the Artistic Text Tool. This would eliminate the necessity to remember *not* to click by accident after the Artistic Text Tool comes up by mistake (see above). If I do click by mistake then I must back up in order to eliminate what the Artistic Text Tool created on screen. I am not able to use a keyboard shortcut to bring up a different tool since since that would enter the letter I typed on the screen. Thus I am then forced to go to the Toolbar and my editing is slowed. Sorry to be wordy, but I want to be clear.
